Call Us Now!
Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese. You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand. You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.
The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls. Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails. An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs. Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible. It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.
Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

Family law covers a wide range of issues from divorce and child custody to adoption and guardianship. In Wisconsin, you need a deep understanding of state laws and regulations to navigate these legal waters so having an experienced family law lawyer on your side in a divorce case is key.
Wisconsin is a “no-fault” divorce state which means you don’t need to prove wrongdoing by the other party to get a divorce. One spouse just needs to believe the marriage is “irretrievably broken”. This makes the divorce process simpler but doesn’t eliminate the need for other legal services guidance especially when the divorce is contested. Contested divorces where parties disagree on key issues like child custody, support, and property division require thorough legal representation to succeed.
Child custody and placement is one of the most emotional issues in family law. Wisconsin family lawyers deal with parent's emotions running high, especially when it comes to their children. The state distinguishes between legal custody – making major decisions for the child – and physical placement – where the child resides. While Wisconsin courts generally favor joint legal custody so both parents have a role in the child’s life, physical placement can vary widely and requires a deep understanding of the law and a strategic approach to advocate family law clients.
